Constantine the Great: And the Christian Revolution Cover
Rating: 3.5/5

Constantine the Great Review

If you think ancient Rome was all togas and backstabbing, think again! This book shows Constantine juggling politics, family drama, and religion—plus, he somehow finds time to invent giant golden coins. Not your average emperor, folks.

Outliers: The Story of Success Cover
Rating: 4/5

Outliers Review

Gladwell’s Outliers had me rethinking every gold medal and spelling bee win. Turns out, it’s not just talent—it’s timing, opportunity, and some very lucky birthdays. Who knew hockey drafts could be so deep?

Young Stalin Cover
Rating: 4/5

Young Stalin Review

This book shows young Stalin as a real rascal—think more punk rock than evil dictator. There’s family drama, street fights, and enough wild schemes to make my old school days look boring.
